At times the Bills' No. 1 receiver after he was signed following his release from the Bears, Thompson caught 27 passes for 430 yards in 11 games in Buffalo. He was a needed live body for one of the league's thinnest receiver corps but not much more. One month shy of his 29th birthday, Thompson is headed back to free agency. Jan 7 - 4:59 PM

Deonte Thompson (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Jaguars.

Thompson should be all set after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He played through the same injury last week and caught two-of-three targets for 23 yards in a win over Miami. Thompson will have a tough assignment Sunday against Jacksonville's elite secondary. Jan 5 - 2:14 PM

Deonte Thompson collected two catches for 23 yards on three targets Sunday in the Bills' Week 17 win over the Dolphins.

Thompson almost didn't play this week after injuring his shoulder at Thursday's practice. The 28-year-old began the year in Chicago but was pink-slipped after just five games. He's fared slightly better since joining Buffalo, eclipsing 80 yards in three of 11 games with his new team. Injuries to Kelvin Benjamin and Jordan Matthews allowed Thompson to play a larger role than expected during the regular season, though his fantasy contributions have remained minimal. The Bills will make their long-awaited return to the postseason next week at Jacksonville. Sun, Dec 31, 2017 08:30:00 PM

Deonte Thompson (shoulder) is active for Week 17 against the Dolphins.

Kelvin Benjamin underwent knee surgery after the season but is expected to be ready for OTAs.

Benjamin suffered a torn meniscus in the first quarter of his first game with the Bills after they acquired him from the Panthers at the trade deadline. He ended up playing through it, but Benjamin was obviously never 100 percent. Benjamin is under contract for one more year at $8.459 million.

The ex-Raider made it almost the entire year on the Bills' 53-man roster but caught only 13 passes in 14 games. It's disappointing considering how in flux the Bills' receiver corps was. Going on 30, Holmes' offseason outlook is uncertain. Neck injuries are the trickiest in football. Holmes is under contract in Buffalo for the next two years.

The news was announced by Jones' father, former NFL linebacker Robert Jones. According to his father, the second-round rookie played most of the season with a torn labrum. That may explain why Jones caught just 27-of-74 targets while earning PFF's No. 107 grade among wide receivers. Jones should be healthier in 2018, though he'll be working under a new offensive coordinator and may have a new quarterback as well.
